Talkirc, to be honest, I find it difficult if you would point people to clear violations of the code of conduct about Mektoub namings, when you carry the name that you chose. You can file a ticket to support to get your name changed at any time.

Imagine players trying to immerse in a science/fantasy world and reading real world names.
Back to topic:
Since players cannot really change their own names, it's a rather static problem. If players can freely name their mektoubs, it's a very dynamic issue. People could name their mektoubs just for a few minutes to insult or at least offend others, then name them back. Our friendly volunteers should not have to spend the time to fix these issues.
At the time of the server merge we had plenty of violations to that regard. Maybe it was because of the uniqueness of the situation. But maybe it was just normal human behaviour.
So while I am sad and disappointed that I cannot have this creative freedom, I can understand the reason why, and have to agree with Suboxide on this one.
Before we can have this, we'd need at least a very well implemented automatic name checker. It would have to filter out all the ovious things that could go wrong. Maybe even do a quick google search on the name to see if it has more than a million hits - in which case it's probably a trademark or real world name violation.
